Onyx is a three
year old sheltie/border collie mix that exhibits the best of both breeds. She
is very smart and quick to pick up on her routine. If she is hungry or needs to
go outside, Onyx is gentle at first, placing her paw on your lap or making eye
contact and wagging her tail. If more encouragement is needed, she will nudge
your fingers away from your iPad or pat your arm. If you haven't gotten the
message by then, she will bark her request! Onyx was heart worm positive and had to
stay quiet without a lot of activity for a while but now that she is healthy
and heart worm free, she is ready to run, chase toys, and jump over obstacles.

Onyx does well with kids of all ages and is eager to have friends to herd. Upon first meeting, Onyx is hesitant
around newcomers. Slow movements and soft voices for a few minutes give
her a chance to check things out and warm up. Loud commands and startling
noises do make this sensitive girl fearful.

Onyx isn't a big fan of
thunderstorms and prefers to cuddle upduring them.

Onyx attended an obedience
class with her foster mom and she was the star of the class. She makes her
human partner look really good!

This intelligent girl has a lot of potential as an agility dog. Onyx would love to go to a home with
people that will nurture her very active, sharp mind and that will satisfy her
craving for play and interaction.
